One of the main SDFM seiyuu (you know her, I don't want to say names, okay?), should you ever meet her on Facebook or Twitter, a warning to everyone beforehand: DO NOT MENTION MACROSS whenever you comment/RT/reply on any of her posts or tweets, because she'll block you if you do.
Her music, yes. Macross, no. I credit Gubaba for explaining this to me. I got blocked (and felt like being punched in the gut) after innocently mentioning it just as I was commenting on one of her upcoming events. Personally, it's so sad.

Apparently she had it enough with the fandom chasing her over the years that she decides it best that the subject should not be taken up online, even if it's just a word.
Must be really bad memories, and some of you know that. Now I understand. *shakes head*

Reminds me of Alec Guinness, who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original Star Wars. Story has it that he'd tear up any fan mail addressed to him without ever reading them, since he assumed they were all about that movie, which he described as "too loud" and one where he "can no longer withstand rehearing those banal lines".
He once forced a fan to promise him never to watch Star Wars again before giving him his autograph... Yeah... - Tak

All right, after some thinking, I conclude that she's now more Alec Guinness than George Takei. Furthermore, I think the suicide of her co-star, as well as the composer who did one of her songs were all too hard for her to take personally.

Now, not anymore; she's more focused on her indie music career, and the last thing she needs is yet another meddlesome fan mentioning the show to her. I think she's also been scarred badly by some fans bashing her character over the years, so in a nutshell, she's fed up and is done with Macross.

But that was just... What? Five, six years ago?
Oh well, everyone has their own breaking point, right? Best of luck to her... Also, on the matter of Sir Alec Guinness... He must have done a little jiggle wherever he is, when he heard about the SW Special Editions, eh?

Or, as she put it when I saw her in...2003? 2004? Somewhere around there... (and I quote, as in verbatim): "I've made twenty fucking albums and all people remember is Macross!" Her own albums are quite good, by the way.

I am sure being remembered as Lin Minmei is better than the guy with the Sheryl dress... While I have not done remotely as much as our dear Mari, I can understand! - Tak

Finally, she cracked up and pulls off a William Shatner on her Facebook.

Ma'am... You had all the time beyond Macross -- lots of it which could have allowed you more artistic freedom -- to do something different and evolve as a singer, but the biggest roadblock for you is yourself. Now that you've said it, you're done. I'm sorry but I'll be putting my money on Nakajima and May'n from now on. ------------ EDIT: Originally from my post at MWF: ------------ Quote:

*shakes head* What sad and amazing timing: first we had Noburo Ishiguro signing off this plane of existence, and now this, even though I think she's still receiving royalties in the mail.
